Titles In The Set: 1. One of us is Lying 2. One of us is Next 3. One of us is Back(Hardback) Description: One of us is Lying Five students walk into detention. Only four come out alive. Yale hopeful Bronwyn has never publicly broken a rule. Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball diamond. Bad boy Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime. Prom queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life. And outsider Simon, creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview High, won't ever talk about any of them again. He dies 24 hours before he could post their deepest secrets online. Investigators conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects. Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you'll go to protect them. One of us is Next A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts. Until now. This time it's not an app, though—it's a game. Truth or Dare. Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark. Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare. But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection. Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And the rules have changed. One of us is Back(Hardback) It's been almost two years since Simon died in detention, and the aftermath has been hard to shake. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren’t killers. Then a new generation outwitted a vengeful copycat. Now the entire Bayview Crew is back home for the summer, and everyone is trying to move on. Only, this is Bayview, and life is never that simple. At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the Bayview Crew disappears, it’s clear this “game” is serious—and whoever’s in charge isn't sharing the rules. Or maybe there aren’t any. Bronwyn. Cooper. Addy. Nate. Maeve. Phoebe. Knox. Luis. Kris. Everyone’s a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things could start getting deadly. The thing is, Simon was right about secrets—they all come out eventually. And Bayview has a lot it’s still hiding.

Introducing the Cormac McCarthy 3 Books Collection Set, featuring three of the most iconic and critically acclaimed works by the legendary American author. Dive into the captivating worlds of The Road, Blood Meridian, and No Country for Old Men with this meticulously curated collection, showcasing McCarthy's masterful storytelling, vivid imagery, and thought-provoking themes. Purchase all three bestselling Cormac Mcarthy books now available at Books2Door. Titles in this set: The Road Blood Meridian No Country for Old Men First in the set is The Road, a hauntingly beautiful post-apocalyptic tale that explores the enduring bond between a father and his young son as they navigate a desolate, dangerous landscape. McCarthy's spare yet lyrical prose paints a bleak yet compelling picture of a world ravaged by an unspecified catastrophe, evoking a profound sense of despair and hope in equal measure. The novel delves deep into themes of survival, morality, and the power of love, leaving readers with indelible impressions long after the final page. Next is Blood Meridian, a mesmerising and brutal exploration of humanity's dark side set against the backdrop of the American West in the mid-19th century. McCarthy's visceral descriptions and unflinching depiction of violence transport readers to a lawless frontier where a gang of outlaws, led by the enigmatic and ruthless Judge Holden, embarks on a merciless spree of bloodshed. As the narrative unfolds, the boundaries between good and evil blur, and the true nature of humanity is laid bare. Blood Meridian is an unforgettable journey into the depths of human nature, provoking introspection and contemplation long after the final page is turned. Completing the collection is No Country for Old Men, a gripping and suspenseful modern-day western that delves into the darkest corners of human greed and the inevitable clash between good and evil. Set along the Texas-Mexico border, the story follows the intertwining paths of Llewelyn Moss, a hunter who stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong, and Anton Chigurh, a relentless and chilling hitman who will stop at nothing to recover a stolen fortune. McCarthy's sparse and intense prose builds tension with every page, immersing readers in a moral landscape where choices have far-reaching consequences. No Country for Old Men is a literary masterpiece that examines the nature of fate, the fragility of life, and the inescapable forces that shape our destinies and has also been adapted into a 2007 film of the same name. This Cormac McCarthy 3 Books Collection Set is a must-have for fans of literary fiction and those seeking powerful and profound reading experiences. McCarthy's unique writing style, characterised by stripped-down dialogue and poetic descriptions, creates an immersive atmosphere that lingers long after the books are finished. These three novels, each distinct in their settings and themes, showcase McCarthy's extraordinary ability to craft stories that resonate on a...
